ENG 4C N. Cregan ARGUMENTATION: A RANT Choose an injustice you feel VERY strongly about.

This could be an injustice against you personally, or a group. Using the examples we saw in school (I AM CANADIAN, Rick Mercer) create your own rant about the chosen issue. The focus should be on the argument: Why is the issue important? What are factors involved in the issue? Your rant can be serious or humorous. Use either rant as a basis for your own and create a parody. Text from I AM CANADIAN rant Hey, I'm not a lumberjack, or a Furtrader, and I don't live in an igloo, or eat blubber or own a dogsled. And I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada, although I'm certain they're really, really nice. I have a prime minister... not a president, I speak English and French, not American and I pronounce it About, not A-boot. I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack, I believe in peacekeeping, not policing, diversity not assimilation, and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal. A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch, and it IS pronounced Zed, not Zee... ZED!! Canada is the 2nd largest land mass, the 1st nation of hockey, and the best part of North America. My name is Joe... and...I......AM......CANADIAN! Thank you.
